Answer:

6.3

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because when you do 9/5 you get 1.8. Then you multiply 1.8 by 3.5 and get 6.3

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

(a) The PMF of X is: $P(X=k)=(1-0.20)^{k-1}0.20;\ k=0, 1, 2, 3....$

(b) The probability that a player defeats at least two opponents in a game is 0.64.

(d) The probability that a player contests four or more opponents in a game is 0.512.

(e) The expected number of game plays until a player contests four or more opponents is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of games played.

It is provided that the player continues to contest opponents until defeated.

(a)

The random variable X follows a Geometric distribution.

The probability mass function of X is:

$P(X=k)=(1-p)^{k-1}p;\ p>0, k=0, 1, 2, 3....$

It is provided that the player has a probability of 0.80 to defeat each opponent. This implies that there is 0.20 probability that the player will be defeated by each opponent.

Then the PMF of X is:

$P(X=k)=(1-0.20)^{k-1}0.20;\ k=0, 1, 2, 3....$

(b)

Compute the probability that a player defeats at least two opponents in a game as follows:

P (X ≥ 2) = 1 - P (X ≤ 2)

= 1 - P (X = 1) - P (X = 2)

$=1-(1-0.20)^{1-1}0.20-(1-0.20)^{2-1}0.20\\=1-0.20-0.16\\=0.64$

Thus, the probability that a player defeats at least two opponents in a game is 0.64.

(c)

The expected value of a Geometric distribution is given by,

$E(X)=\frac{1}{p}$

Compute the expected number of opponents contested in a game as follows:

$E(X)=\frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{0.20}=5$

Thus, the expected number of opponents contested in a game is 5.

(d)

Compute the probability that a player contests four or more opponents in a game as follows:

P (X ≥ 4) = 1 - P (X ≤ 3)

= 1 - P (X = 1) - P (X = 2) - P (X = 3)

$=1-(1-0.20)^{1-1}0.20-(1-0.20)^{2-1}0.20-(1-0.20)^{3-1}0.20\\=1-0.20-0.16-0.128\\=0.512$

Thus, the probability that a player contests four or more opponents in a game is 0.512.

(e)

Compute the expected number of game plays until a player contests four or more opponents as follows:

$E(X\geq 4)=\frac{1}{P(X\geq 4)}=\frac{1}{0.512}=1.953125\approx 2$

Thus, the expected number of game plays until a player contests four or more opponents is 2.

Which two expressions are equivalent and please explain so I can understand

PolarNik [594]

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation: C is the correct answer because if you look at it, the only things that are changed around is the order of which the equation is . All the other ones, the parenthesis are moved around and when they are moved around, the equations become nonequivalent. Hope this helps! Please let me know if this is helpful or if you still don't understand
